Landtagswahl: Wie die AfD in Sachsen-Anhalt Stimmung gegen Migration macht
Eine Studie zeigt: Migration und innere Sicherheit dominieren die Anfragen der AfD im Landtag von Sachsen-Anhalt. Laut den Forschern geht es der Partei dabei vor allem um „Skandalisierung“.
In the run-up to the Landtag election in Saxony-Anhalt, the AfD is utilizing parliamentary questions to generate public sentiment, according to a study conducted by researchers Knut Bergmann and Armin Mertens from the German Institute of Economics (IW). The study analyzed 8,445 small questions submitted to the state legislature between April 2016 and June 2026.
Small questions are written inquiries from individual lawmakers or factions to the state government, primarily used by the opposition to seek information and hold the government accountable. The AfD accounted for nearly a third of the 2,743 questions, with the left-wing party submitting more than any other group. The researchers suggest that the AfD is making more aggressive use of this parliamentary tool ahead of the 2026 election.
